Guten afternoon. Interesting interview with Arry on Talksport this morning. The Bale injury appears to have been the original red herring and our supremo’s comments on Gallas make me feel there is probably as much wrong with Billy as there is with any of his limbs. I base this upon the Frenchman’s ridiculous ‘wrong shoes’ business the other week and the fact that he used to play for Le Arse and they breed it into their players to fanny about. Here’s what I’ve been told the 11 will be. Do of course feel free to lamblast, sue and generally seek…

The answer of course is that it’s a pretty dumb question. Wigan’s away section is sold out, so the humdrum of the Premier League has not been entirely dismissed. Equally there has been a bristle of activity on forums from fans wanting advice on manner of European Tour related issues. Where to purchase their Drachma, ‘is it safe to drink the water?’ and requests for a few handy phrases in foreign to get them by. We have been subjected to the old ‘bare bones’ speech from Arry of course. Dawson and Bassong are our only two fit centre backs. Hang…
It seems that all the recent talk of Arry Redscnapps being tipped as the new England mananger had substance after all. Tottenhan Hotspurs’ hand has seemingly been forced as details of the deal that will make him the next England supremo are to be revealed in an six page exclusive in this weekend’s News Of The Screws. The source of this extraordinary story is actually Italian, and none other than Paulo Fior who is translator for Fabio Capello and … Editor of Gazzetta Del Beffa, an online football coaching site. An insider told HH late last night, ‘The timing…
…merchandise. Football memorabilia is best employed when sold to raise money for good causes. Many of us wouldn’t mind the odd signed bit of gear but there’s always that voice in our subconscious that wonders why a middle man should be making money out of a bloke (who just happens to be a superstar) running a marker pen over a nylon shirt or whatever. This is much ‘nicer’ and the money goes to a good cause. The Boy Bale has donated a heap of goodies to an auction in aid of his old Cardiff Primary School where he first learned…
Mornin’. Woodys out! Not the war cry of a receptionist at a military themed bordello, but a player injury update. Difficult to feel much about this anymore. THFC are adamant that he’s not finished. I wish I shared their blind optimism. I’d love to know what they base this on. I hope he returns. I also hope to one day own a fleet of Rollers. Anyway, not much else about today but as a fully paid up of the Super Roman Cravypavinchenko Fan Club it would be remiss of me not to share this. It was more of a dog…
Evenin’. The Italian media has been sniffing and quite understandably so around The Boy Bale for some time now. But when it comes to these foreign mega-bid deals I’m always sceptical. They might scan well as a headline, but history is not littered with young lads who have barely mastered their native tongue making the extraordinary leap into unknown cultures. Well, apart from Great Train Robbers. Tonight’s news comes then from the Italian daily, Gazzetta dello Sport who believe that Lyons’ left wing-man Michel Bastos has been subject to strong interest from our lot. Bastos is a class act, Lille…
Hang on lads, I’ve had an idea… As the Interlull looms ever over us, my ability to summon up even the vaguest interest in whether Defoe will play or score or reveal that he’s had the Ghostbusters logo shaved into his head ebbs into complete inertia. But I have been – yet again – dwelling on our own overriding striker problem. If Defoe were to get a hattrick against Ghana, what effect would this actually have on us come say our next game against Wigan? Will it just delay the call for us to buy some crazy Carlos Kickaball in…
Our old friends at Spurs Odyssey are alive and kicking. Which is nice. A relatively new ‘member’ offered this… ‘Just got an update about Gareth’s injury. It’s a grade 1 tear and he could of played today but wouldn’t then of been fit for the Real Madrid game so good news for us. The new contract extension has a buy out clause added to it so that Gareth has more control over if and when he goes. Having said that, however, he is absolutely loving it at Tottenham and has no plans to go anywhere at the moment but it…
Ah, the Interlull. What joy. International football for most of us these days is about as alluring as a Hugh Laurie Blues album. On an upbeat note for Spurs fans …just like The World According To Garp, we have nothing to fear on the Gareth Bale front as he is ‘pre-disastered’. At least it’s not his back. The whole John Terry thing has be dredged up again of course. ‘I’m not everyone’s cup of tea,’ he told us. I’d say that’s fair comment. Unless you’re a clinical psychologist of course. Not so much a one dimensional social misfit, but a…
